Pro-life leaders, meanwhile, decried Gates’ new abortion pledge as a sign of the pro-abortion lobby’s wide reach and influence.
“Melinda French Gates could do much to help women and their preborn children on the national — and even international — level, yet she has decided instead to pour money into the abortion industry that already makes billions of dollars by taking the lives of innocent preborn children,” Carol Tobias, president of the National Right to Life Committee, told the Register.
“Tragically, this kind of ‘help’ destroys lives and damages women,” Tobias said.
Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America and Students for Life Action, told the Register that the modern pro-life movement regularly “relives the story of David and Goliath, as we are outspent everywhere by financial giants.”
“For example, consider that the almost $700 million that our federal government wastes on Planned Parenthood allows them to market themselves to more women and to push a culture of death by intentional abortion,” Hawkins said.
“But the beauty of a righteous cause is knowing that it’s not up to us alone, and that is our true strength, though all donations are welcome,” she said.
